which beers are better from a can?

[Chad]

...if any? And from a can, not in the can...any beer in the bathroom is good.

 

[hawkeyeh8r]

PBR or natty light

 

[JHudd]

Surly.

 

[acqflisu]

I feel like I'm being set up for this...it's too easy.

Technically, any beer should be better from a can. Bottles (even brown) let light in, light kills beer. The 'mystique' of better beer coming from bottles is simply economics...for the craft brewer, it's cheaper/easier to set up a bottling line than a canning line.

The Budweiser.

What about the common complaint that beer in a can takes on some of the taste of the can? Not true?

Shower Beers!

At one time that was true. Not sure if everything uses lined cans, but here's a good article on the topic:

Serious Beer: Now in Cans | Serious Eats: Drinks

and a quote on that specific question:

Craft breweries now use cans lined with a water-based coating that prevents the beer from ever touching metal, so there's no metallic flavor.

Guinness. But poured into a glass... not sure if that counts!

 

[bellzisu]

Keystone light with the specially lined cans taste good

 

[CyForPresident]

PBR

Busch Light. The greatest beer to get hammered drunk on. Period.

 

[enisthemenace]

Stroh's.

America's Fire Brewed Beer...how "can" you go wrong?

 

[Cy's Taxi]

Guinness. But poured into a glass... not sure if that counts!

Yes, and it's about the only one, but, as mentioned, it has to be poured. Really hard to get the foam on it like you can from a draft though. Still haven't mastered it...

 

[Swanson10]

I would have to say Big Flats.

Dale's Pale Ale. Only available in a can, never been bottled at least as long as I've been drinking it. THE go-to beer for camping, backpacking, hunting trips in CO. I even brought a 12er to Canada with me for a fishing trip. Changed the microbrew world's mind that a good beer had to be bottled...

Would probably be good in a bottle if they offered it, but probably better that they don't.

I never thought I would say this but I had miller light from those aluminum pint bottles/can and I actually thought that was delicious. (could have been the heavy rum & coke before though)

 

[azepp]

Draft > can > bottle in almost every case for me. At least for those beers which come in a can. Except Fat Tire. Tastes terrible in a bottle and flat out undrinkable in a can.
